So, I have been interested in Valvoline Synpower for a while since it is specced for both vehicles I drive in 0w20 and it has a different additive chemistry than I am used to using. I suggested to a friend who uses it in 0w20 that he should get a UOA done at some point long ago. Surprise to me, he had a UOA done and brought it in to work today. Here are the results....
2007 Honda Civic R18
78,111 total Miles, 9,502 on oil. 5% OLM
Valvoline Synpower 0w20 SN, PureOne PL14610 Filter
Previous fills have been Valvoline Synpower 0w20 for as long as he has owned the vehicle. He bought it used with approx 25k miles.

Eric: Looking at your first UOA, your Civic is wearing quite nice on the Valvoline Synpower 0w20. Wear metals are all below universal averages for your vehicle, so mechanically, your engine is doing fine. Your TBN was good at 1.9, 1.0 is considered low, so the OLM is doing fine at 5% remaining. We would recommend going 10,000 miles on your next fill. Nice Report!
